old grace

Lin Gu knew that Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan had gone out at night, so she ignored them and was never curious about things that had nothing to do with her.

The next day, when the sun was bright, Gu Lin saw a bowl of black soup on the table.Taking medicine for illness these days is not as effective as Tiao Dashen. Lin Gu glanced at it and thought of the knife wound on her body that healed quickly. She was curious about what disease this medicine could cure?

In fact, she is not very good at broiling food, remembering the order of Xie Qinghe's cooking last night, she followed them one by one, and cooked a pot of bean rice.

Fu heard that the smell was wrong, so he sat up in a daze: "It's broken."

Lin Gu also felt a little bad.When Xie Qinghe was cooking yesterday, there was no such a bitter taste.

Fu Chuan got up to check the iron pot that was bubbling on the fire, and asked, "Did Auntie rinse the pot before cooking?"

Lin Gu looked embarrassed: "It's been washed..." There was not much water in the house, and she thought about boiling the beans before drawing water, so she rinsed the iron pot with a little water. A little "water" is just enough to clean up the medicine dregs left in the pot.

Fu Chuan quickly said: "That's okay. This medicine is fine. It's just...a bit bitter, right?"

Lin Gu didn't know anything about medical theory and medicine, but only knew that the medicines brought by the two little gentlemen who looked like gods were incredible medicines.Applying a little plaster can stop bleeding and pain, and make open wounds heal quickly. Isn't it the elixir in fairy tales?Even if the elixir is a bit bitter, eating it can also strengthen your body, right?

Xie Qinghe tidied up his clothes carefully and got out of bed, took water to rinse his mouth first, then Fu Chuan turned around and poured him some warm water to drink.

"I'll leave later." Xie Qinghe didn't plan to stay and eat bitter bean rice. "Guy Lin, if you take the medicine on the table, you won't have children. This medicine is gentle and doesn't hurt your body, and it won't affect your future marriage and childbirth."

Xie Qinghe didn't mention the medicine specially boiled for you by name, but, except Lin Gu, no one needs this bowl of medicine.

Lin Gu was very surprised and flattered, and subconsciously touched her lower abdomen.

"Drink?" Fu Chuan picked up the bowl of already cold soup.

Lin Gu shook her head and said: "You two little gentlemen will be concerned about labor. However, I am a servant of the Chu family, but I serve in front of my wife. I have drank the infertility medicine a long time ago." She talked about her regrets in her life, But it seems to be talking about today's weather.

Xie Qinghe took a look at Fu Chuan, and began to prepare the potion, steaming his face with hot water to make up his face.

Fu Chuan went to comfort Lin Gu: "People are growing all the time. When the skin is broken, it will form scabs. When the flesh is gone, it will grow muscle. Even if you take the medicine that makes people infertile, you can grow back. Have you ever used a knife on you?"

Lin Gu was elated and couldn't help shaking her head: "No, no. I just drank a bowl of medicine, my stomach hurt for a few days, and there was a lot... Dirty blood. Can this be cured? Can it grow well? Can I still have a baby?"

In the previous life, Fu Chuan followed Sanniang to treat many boudoir women's diseases. He has a lot of experience. He has also practiced with a female body, and he is very familiar with women's internal organs. This is an advantage that Xie Qinghe can't match.At this moment, while comforting Gu Lin, she took Gu Na Lin's pulse and, relying on her young age, had accumulated energy with her fingertips and directly probed Gu Lin's waist and abdomen, and said, "I can conceive."

Lin Gu held her breath and let him examine it. Hearing this, she let out a long breath, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Is it really possible? Really?"

Without waiting for Fu Chuan to comfort her, she got up and picked up the medicine on the table and drank it all.Looking back at Fu Chuan's astonished eyes, she regained her usual quietness and humbleness, and explained softly, "In case...you can't conceive a wicked child."

Fu Chuan didn't say "You probably won't be able to conceive her now", but nodded and said in agreement: "That's the truth. Find a great husband in the future."

Over there, Xie Qinghe has changed his disguise.

In order to hide their identities, both he and Fu Chuan changed into women's clothes, and their appearances were also changed to be inconspicuous, fearing that walking around the streets would leave too deep an impression on people.Now he has regained his male body, relying on years of martial arts practice, he also eats nutritious food on weekdays, he looks taller and stronger than ordinary teenagers, he painted his makeup to look a few years older, and fine-tuned his appearance.

Fu Chuan has long been used to his miraculous disguise method, Lin Gu sighed inwardly, the scheming of this method is too terrifying.

Xie Qinghe's makeup is still not dazzling, but the brows and corners of the eyes are soft and stretched, which makes people feel good when they see it. According to the most metaphysical words, this is called Mianshan.There are always some people who are not amazing in appearance, but just make you feel pleasing to the eye.

Xie Qinghe wanted to infiltrate Yancheng Prince's Mansion to inquire about news, just this deliberately drawn "face" could bring him a lot of convenience.

Lin Gu didn't know that Xie Qinghe was going to infiltrate Yancheng Prince's Mansion, and seeing Xie Qinghe going out alone, she didn't dare to ask Xie Qinghe's whereabouts, she just circled around the "little girl" at home with full of expectation, showing [-]% attention to Fu Chuan and flattery.

Fu Chuan had nothing to do with him, and said, "Then let's go out and collect herbs."

Many common medicines in later generations are still weeds that no one cares about at this time, and it is troublesome to get them back and make them yourself.

No one ate the bean rice with the bitter taste of soup.Fu Chuan packed the pot of bean and rice in a washed broken wooden bowl, and when he went out with Lin Gu, he dropped it in the yard of the kid who saw boiled mice eating yesterday.

Lin Gu glanced at him, but didn't say much.

Don't dare to come out and be a good person at this time.If the poor refugees in the vicinity know that their family has surplus food, someone will come to rob them soon.There is no order in the life at the bottom, and there is no reason for the weak to prey on the strong.

According to Lin Gu's thinking, even if this pot of bean rice is buried in the soil, it shouldn't be given away.

...is still too kind.

Thinking of the Fu Chuan that fell from the sky that day, Lin Gu had nothing to say.She is also a beneficiary of Fu Chuan's kindness.

■

Xie Qinghe had confirmed the location of the Yancheng Prince's Mansion a few days earlier. After leaving the house, he walked west along the long street of the capital.

The King of Yancheng himself was also from the imperial family of the Yu family. After the emperor imprisoned him, most of the servants and maids bestowed by the king's mansion were withdrawn from the palace. His most trusted retainers and family children were all in long-term despair, and were killed intentionally or unintentionally by the emperor. Clean up.

This time, King Yancheng was released from prison suddenly to turn the tide, and it was impossible for the emperor to put him back in prison, so King Yancheng returned to the palace.

——Ten years ago, the emperor imprisoned the king of Yancheng, that is, he was locked up.It didn't say what crime King Yancheng committed, nor did he deprive King Yancheng of his title or identity, and there were no edicts related to this.

Therefore, today, ten years later, the king of Yancheng was released, and there is no such thing as redressing his injustice and returning to his residence.

There is no conviction in itself, no loss of title, so... go back and live by yourself?

There are also many people in the ruling and opposition parties complaining for the king of Yancheng.

The king of Yancheng, who was the regent at the time, did not have any crimes against the emperor of the country. He was imprisoned for ten years for no reason. Ji Zhao?

Of course, there are also those who defend the emperor and sing against the King of Yancheng. This group of people, headed by the prime minister Han Qu and the Langzhong Ling Wang Hu, will denounce the king of Yancheng for his selfish intentions to harm the country, and obviously want to wipe out the main force of the Chen family in the Tianjing River , why was he suddenly killed by Chen Qi, causing half of the imperial army to die, and the vitality of the king's capital was greatly injured. Isn't this the king of Yancheng who raised his own pride and deliberately intimidated the emperor in order to take military power for himself?

The king of Yancheng didn't want to be involved in disputes between the court and the court, so he took a step back, and after surrendering his military power, he returned to the palace to recuperate without making a fuss.

He lived in a cold, damp prison where the sun was never seen for ten years, and he was sick all over his body.

At the same time, he also turned away all the slaves and beauties that the emperor gave him.Nowadays, most of the servants in Yancheng Palace are the old slaves of the palace who have been found by the wind, or some poor people in the capital who have lost their livelihood and have no food to eat.

Xie Qinghe strolled all the way to the gate of Yancheng Prince's Mansion, and found that it was crowded with many people, surrounded by many people.

Most of these people are not poor people. With their chariots and children, some of them couldn't stand for a long time, and refused to leave even if they had to be supported by a few servants.

There are gatekeepers in Yancheng Prince's Mansion who are responsible for stopping people and maintaining order by the way.Several of them walked back and forth in the crowd, constantly persuading: "My lord is ill, it's not that I don't see you, but I really can't get up... Or, Mr. Lang left a post and went back first? Wait for our lord to get better, Send another message to ask Mr. Lang to come to the mansion to talk."

The persuaded visitor didn't seem unreasonable. He pulled the door to chase away people, and blinked tears from his swollen and tired eyelids: "How can we not know the difficulty of the prince? But now that the traitor is in power, the emperor uses the law of the country to kill the people. , I wait until the people don’t come to beg the lord, where else can we seek justice? If the lord refuses to comfort the people, how can there be a way out in this world?!”

Bang when a big hat was thrown down, and the words inside and out pushed Yancheng King to fight the emperor, the door turned green when he heard it.

Ever since the Chu family begged and the news spread that the king of Yancheng had slapped Lang Zhongling, a large number of ordinary people had gathered at the gate of the palace of the king of Yancheng, begging for an appeal.Most of them wanted to ask the king of Yancheng to come forward to reject the emperor's will to seal the city, so that their middle-class families, who were neither high nor low, could escape from the capital and avoid the tragedy of being slaughtered by the Chen family. The servants who were murdered by Wang Hu and other henchmen wanted to find King Yancheng to make decisions for them...

The origins of this group of people are very complicated. Some came spontaneously upon hearing the wind, and some were secretly sent by Wang Hu and others.

Regardless of whether the reason behind this group of people's coming is that they sincerely want to pray for the King of Yancheng to uphold justice, or they deliberately provoke the King of Yancheng to discord with the emperor, the overwhelming public opinion has already put the King of Yancheng on fire.

With this group of "evil guests" who blocked the door and refused to leave, Xie Qinghe's plan to sneak into the palace to find an errand was more difficult.

Firstly, no one in the family cared about him, and secondly, even if the palace is short of people and foreign aggression is so turbulent, a manager with a little experience in family management will not easily admit people into the mansion at this time, so as to prevent spies from being mixed in and being copied by someone with a heart.

Knowing this, Xie Qinghe did not completely give up on his plan.He blended in the crowd not far or near, listening to the people nearby.

Xie Qinghe came out to look for work, dressed plainly, walked alone, and couldn't squeeze into the crowd of slaves and servants.Over there are rich households with little assets who asked to flee in Kaicheng, while Xie Qinghe's gatherings are mostly poor and humble people who have been oppressed by the powerful and have nowhere to appeal.

Unlike the wealthy households who are clamoring and talking about you coming and going, most of the people here are silent, some are kneeling, some are squatting, and many are sitting on the ground, their eyes are dull and seem Looking hopefully at the closed gate of the palace.

A few people will keep nagging, telling the people around them about their grievances and the injustice of this world...

Xie Qinghe walked through it and saw woman A holding old man B, woman A kept repeating in her mouth: "Zhe Xiaolang beat my daughter to death, and said that my daughter was killed by bumping into her, who killed him with injuries all over his body? Have you ever seen an old man? If you hit him to death, you can break your waist bone?" The old man B who was held by her kept saying to her: "My ancestors have been planting beans in Wei Township for generations, and the fifth emperor also ate my ancestors. The beans planted by grandpa, my family has the horseshoe gold bestowed by the fifth emperor, no one can take my land!"

These two pulled each other, talking about their own grievances non-stop, neither of them cared what the other was saying, and they refused to let the other leave.

Xie Qinghe suddenly remembered the story Chen Qi told him in the other palace.

The concubine's family has been sitting in the world for so long, probably because they have formed countless personal vendettas with countless people in the world, right?

The people blocking the gate of Yancheng Prince's Mansion did not listen to persuasion. Some wealthy households were tired of staying, so they left posts to the gate and left with the boy and groom.However, some people left and others came one after another.Xie Qinghe waited at the door for almost two hours, his stomach growled with hunger, and the chaos in front of the house never abated.

Naturally, rich households have servants and maidservants to bring them fresh water, and many wealthy households still have pails in their carriages, so everything looks very decent.

Xie Qinghe's crowd is much thinner, most people just take out the water bag they carry with them, drink a little water to quench their hunger and thirst, a few people don't even drink water - it's not human to want to carry a water bag with them Anyone can get it.

Xie Qinghe wondered whether things would be over in a while, and was considering whether to go out and find a restaurant to eat something, and then come back after a short rest.

A group of people followed a few horses and rushed to Yancheng Palace. Sharp-eyed passers-by saw the ceremonial guards brought by the other party and exclaimed that King Jing was coming. Not long after, they heard someone in the queue shouting: "King Jing! Go out on patrol, idlers avoid it!"

The common people along the street ran away one after another, and guards had already come to block the road. At this time, if they could not avoid being trampled by horseshoes, they would die in vain.

It is said that the road is still closed to clean up the market ahead, King Jing's car should wait for a while to arrive.How could he know that King Jing was unreasonable, the guards drove away the people on the street in the first step, and galloped in the next step on a fast horse. Slap hard!

Xie Qinghe had already retreated to a safe range, seeing the long whip in King Jing's hand, he still couldn't help frowning slightly.

As we all know, short whips are used to ride horses.It is too inconvenient for a person on horseback to wield a whip that is nearly a foot long like the one in King Jing's hand.

King Jing came here to beat the people. He was very skillful in controlling the horses. The guards drove the people into a row, just in time for his long whip to hit the adult's head and face, leaving a bloodstain.After whipping the whip, he held the reins of the horse and continued to move forward, bending over and hitting the people who were driven in another direction with another whip!

When the people were frightened, they screamed one after another. Many people began to flee, leaning forward and backward, and the weak fell to the ground, trampling crazily.

King Jing continued to beat the people.

There was fierce hatred in his eyes, as if it was not the common people who were whipped by him, but his sworn enemy.

The people who came alone on foot were all beaten and driven away, even those who refused to leave immediately, such as Xie Qinghe and others, hid in a safe place and could not come near for the time being.Further inside are the wealthy families who came to block the door with their servants in their cars.

King Jing didn't show any courtesy to them either, the whip couldn't move the carriage made of solid wood, he threw the long whip, and the guards immediately brought a long soldier.This is a long knife made of pure iron, not a wooden handle with a copper head, and it is of extraordinary weight. Two guards rode their horses and came to the scene.

King Jing was riding on the horseback, holding the long knife weighing at least fifty or sixty catties with one hand, swinging it and chopping at the carriage with a bang.

No matter how strong the carriage was, it couldn't withstand such a ruthless blow from King Jing.

The wealthy households present were stunned.Being hit by a long whip can at most tear off half of his face. If he is slashed by such a heavy and heavy long knife, wouldn't the whole person be cut in two?The family boy who was in charge of protecting them didn't want to be a shield, so he quickly pulled the Patriarch to dodge.

King Jing chopped up all the carriages that were stuck in Yancheng's palace, and roared angrily: "Get out! Get out! Whoever dares to stop here, I will cut off his head alone! Cut off his three clans and nine relatives!"

Leng Buding saw a rich man who was so frightened lying on the ground with limp legs that he couldn't run, King Jing stared at Leng Jinjin's eyes, and made a voice like a fire: "Are you going to go? Ah? Go or not? ——Gu remembers you, so I went to order your house at night!"

The rich man was so frightened that his head was covered with cold sweat, he also shouted loudly: "Get out, get out, get out now!"

Not only the people at the scene were frightened by King Jing's rage, but also the door of the Yancheng Palace was afraid to come out, and it seemed that they wanted to close the door.

Surprisingly, King Jing put down his long sword, got off his horse and came to the gate of Yancheng Palace, and his appearance returned to normal.He looked at the door with flickering eyes, and his attitude could be called kind: "In the future, when troublesome people come to surround you, you have to send someone to look for Gu. Gu wants to put someone at the door to report the news at any time, and he is afraid that the prince will misunderstand Gu's intentions. You just remember that if someone comes to block you, you will immediately notify Gu."

The doorman didn't know how to answer, so he forced a smile and said tremblingly: "This... small ones can't make decisions."

King Jing actually patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Yes. You have to ask the lord and listen to his old man's orders. Is the lord better today? You can quickly send someone to go inside and ask if Gu can go to see him?"

Xie Qinghe thought to himself, King Jing really came to rescue King Yancheng.

In the position of King Yancheng, the raging public opinion cannot bear to be offended, otherwise the people in the capital will be desperate.

However, with so many people who come to ask for the master, how can the king of Yancheng be the master?He is really capable, he was imprisoned by the emperor for ten years without release, and even the old ministry did not know his whereabouts.Finally, taking advantage of the critical situation of the king's capital to see the light of day, public opinion urged him to provoke the emperor.

The king of Yancheng could not drive away the people, nor could he run out to receive the admiration and hopes of the people. He could only "recover his illness" in the mansion.

Now King Jing came running aggressively and beat all the people away. The infamy was caused by King Jing alone, and King Yancheng was no longer difficult to ride a tiger.No matter what King Jing wanted to plot, he had saved King Yancheng by coming here.

Beside Xie Qinghe was a skinny middle-aged man, looking disappointedly at the figure of King Jing in the distance: "It is rumored that King Jing is upright and just, never flattering and slandering, alas, how can there be such a person in the temple? "After that, he lowered his head and walked away with heavy steps.

King Jing is still waiting at the gate of Yancheng Palace for news of seeing or disappearing, and the nearby people are leaving one after another.

At this moment, a childish female voice came from inside the door: "Wait a minute! Wait a moment!"

"My lord, please don't disperse! The old man will come out soon!" A girl wearing a golden crown of flowers, bamboo and gold, with skin as white as snow came out in a hurry, and greeted the people who were leaving, "Don't go! The lord has been here for the past two days. While sick, I didn’t know you were waiting outside the door! He just heard that you have complained about grievances, and he has already come out! Don’t leave—”

King Jing looked at the girl in surprise, then looked back at the gate of the palace, and hurriedly wanted to enter.

No one knew what happened inside the gate. Under the eyes of everyone, only the white bearded and haired King Yancheng sat weakly on the couch and was carried out by several guards. King Jing tried hard to stop him, but was caught by several guards. squeezed aside.

This was the first time Xie Qinghe saw Yancheng Wang Yushu.

Chen Cong did not have such a person in his memory. In the original history, when Chen Qi invaded the capital, King Yancheng was already dead.

The king of Yancheng glanced at all the people in front of him, pointed to the messy carriage in front of him with his left hand, and said, "Do you have any complaints? Or, as the following report said, you are all here to beg me, please The purpose is to open the gate of the city so that you can leave freely with your family assets?"

He spoke in a low voice and lacked energy, but no one dared to interrupt him, and no one dared to be disobedient.

It was such an old man who looked frail and old, leading his old troops, repelling the menacing Chen family soldiers and horses, keeping the capital of the king, and the Guozuo of the Yan clan.He was short of breath when he was talking, and his lungs were obviously sick, and he coughed lightly twice as soon as he stopped.

King Yancheng asked a question, but no one came to answer.

At this time, all the rich families who came to ask for Kaicheng had almost run away. This group of people just wanted to run away, and they were not as eager and resentful as the ordinary people who came to redress their grievances and complained on foot in the back row, and put all their hopes in the Yancheng Palace.Being able to run out is the icing on the cake, and if you can't run out, you can find another way. It is of course important to save your life when encountering such a violent temper like King Jing.

The king of Yancheng didn't really want to solve this problem, he turned his attention to the other people who were still waiting quietly, and said, "I know why you came to me. But you don't know what I'm thinking .”

"I listened to the cry of the Chu family and decided to protect them because they were coaxed by corrupt officials and evil officials, and they were almost wiped out by corrupt officials and evil officials. The crime of this is the corrupt officials and evil officials, not the Chu family."

"You people, in peacetime, rely on the heavenly family and the court, exploit the people's wealth, save a little family money, and become the masters of the family, the masters, when the emperor is in danger, you will run away! Take you from the emperor's hand The gold, silver, pearls, and silk in the bag... go to the enemy! Go to the enemy! Change to another place, change to a master, continue to pretend to be a tiger, and live a prosperous life!"

"Damn! The people of the country, the shameful disaster of the world!"

"Do you think that I will support opening the city gate and let you run? If I supervise the country today, you and your family will not be left alone!"

Even if the group of wealthy families who came to beg to open the city all ran away, the rest of the people also showed timid and short-spirited fear when they heard King Yancheng's out of breath angrily.They didn't know how to distinguish the truth in King Yancheng's words. They only knew that King Yancheng's attitude was very clear. King Yancheng absolutely supported the emperor's edict to seal the city, and he refused to fight the emperor for the sake of the people.

The people who were originally called to stop by the girl and planned to wait and see what happened, were a little agitated at this time, and some people were so frightened that they wanted to leave.

The girl said eagerly: "Hey, don't be afraid! The prince just refused to open the city, and he didn't say he wouldn't make decisions for you! What grievances and hatred do you have? Oh, you have to be justified. As long as it is justified, hurry up!" Come to the queue and tell the prince one by one!"

King Yancheng looked at the girl with gentle eyes, raised his handkerchief and coughed, and said, "Zan Zuan, don't worry. If there is something wrong with people's hearts, they will always try their best to release it. If they leave, they must not A very important grievance."

King Jing took advantage of the situation to get close to King Yancheng, Xie Qinghe couldn't hear his voice, so he could only judge from the change of his mouth shape.

What he said was, begging the prince to protect the whole country.

King Jing tried his best to prevent King Yancheng from falling into this situation. He didn't want King Yancheng to continue to fight against Han Qu and Wang Hu. He didn't want the relationship between King Yancheng and the emperor to deteriorate further. Come forward to flog and drive away the people, and deal with the chaos for King Yancheng.

However, King Yancheng didn't appreciate it.

Already some daring people came over and knelt down in front of the King of Yancheng under the arrangement of the young girl Zuan.

The man tried his best to calm down his excited mood, kowtowed his head several times against the ground, and when he looked up, there were tears in his eyes: "My lord, the villain is wronged."

King Yancheng nodded weakly and said, "You can tell it yourself."

The story this man told was not surprising at all.

He was originally a family of craftsmen in the east of the capital, doing the craft of firing tiles.Conscripted by the imperial court, he had just married his wife because of his newlyweds, so his family sent his younger brother to serve in the army.Because the family is relatively well-off, before the younger brother went out, the family prepared a lot of food and brought a lot of money for the younger brother. I hope that the younger brother can live better during his service.

Unexpectedly, his younger brother was not hungry or cold, but because he was more handsome and beautiful, the supervisor Jin Jiang refused to write.

According to what his younger brother said when he escaped back, the younger brother knew that this kind of thing was very common, and he had nowhere to complain. He neither resisted nor complained, but was very cooperative.Even when the supervisor wanted to kill his younger brother to silence him, his younger brother didn't intend to resist.

The reason why the younger brother resisted and escaped was that the group of supervisors secretly discussed that after killing the younger brother, he would be charged with fleeing from the army.

At this time, the Qin court’s law on conscripts was very strict, and escaping from service would implicate the family, ranging from deprivation of the status of a craftsman household, to severe cases of the whole family being stripped and hanged at the intersection.

The younger brother had no choice but to kill the supervisor and fled back to the capital in the chaos, wanting to go to the Yamen to sue - he would rather be convicted of homicide and sentenced to the head of the king, than be charged with fugitives after being killed and kill his whole family .

"The villain's brother walked into the gate of Tianjing County and never came out again." The middle-aged man kneeling on the ground burst into tears, his cheeks burned beyond recognition by the fire couldn't help agitating, "In three days, the yamen said The villain's brother escaped from the army, captured the villain's old parents, the newly married woman, and hung them on the wall... The villain escaped by luck because he was looking for someone outside to find out the whereabouts of his brother."

"Afterwards, the villain concealed his identity, burned his face, and inquired about the past. Later, he found out that Zheng Xiong, the villain who was an official in Tianjing County at that time, was the brother-in-law of Liang Yin, the supervisor who was killed by the villain brothers. Xiaoren As soon as Brother Ren walked into the county government office, he and several other officials took him to the prison, cut out his tongue, pulled out his teeth, smashed his bones into hundreds of pieces, and 'killed' him alive for two days!"

"My lord! Even if murder deserves death, it should be punished according to the law. The villain dare not call out for his brother, the villain's old parents died unjustly!"

Many people were faintly moved after hearing this man's cry.Only King Yancheng looked calm, as if he didn't hear.

After the man lay down on the ground and cried for a while, the King of Yancheng said, "What's your name? What's your brother's name? When exactly did it happen?" Without waiting for the man to answer, he ordered the girl next to him, "Zan Yan, you take someone to write down what he said. It’s been a while, and it’s time-consuming to check, so don’t worry, check it out and deal with it.”

After Zuan nodded, King Yancheng said to the man again: "I don't say whether you believe it or not. I already know about you. If you find out that it is exactly as you said, how did the evil officials harm you back then, and how will you be punished today? Him. If you talk nonsense, it is all a false accusation, and you have to take responsibility yourself."

The man naturally swore to guarantee the authenticity of what he said, and the King of Yancheng was unmoved and said, "Next."

Behind is an old man.

What the old man said was that the dye shop that his family had run for five generations was robbed by the Zhe family.

The Zhe family is a family that exploded after climbing up to the Wang family. Such a family has no background, and does not have many craftsmen and slaves. They have to go outside to buy food, clothing and flowers.At the beginning, the Zhe family chose the dye shop of the old man’s family to dye their own cloth. After a long time of contact, they found that the dye shop was making money. In name, they said that I would open a shop near your house. The family shop is regarded as their own territory.

"It's said to be an open robbery, but it's not an open robbery. Just fetching dyes every day made people come to the villain's house to move. Later, I didn't even bother to move. I directly helped the villain negotiate business with customers. His family collected money, and the villain shipped goods. .If the villain refuses to ship, the buyer will come to settle accounts with the villain.”

"The villain's family can't afford to spend with him. They just want to have this craft. Even if they don't need the ancestral shop, they can live elsewhere. Who would have thought that this family would not let it go, so the villain's family moved. After going out, he was tied up by his family's envoys and forced the villain to work for his family."

"The villain has a man and a woman under his knees, with a strong temper, he argues with his family."

"In a few days, the villain's son was beaten to death on the street. I don't know who did it."

"The villain's family was in great grief, and they were holding a funeral for the kid at home, when a fierce slave from the Zhe family rushed in, and in front of the kid's coffin, forced Jinjiang not to write about the villain's daughter, and brought it the next day He bought three copper coins and a hen, saying it was a dowry gift for the villain’s daughter, and forcibly hired the little girl to be a servant of the Zhe family as his wife—the poor daughter of the villain was robbed to become a slave just like that.”

The old man raised his crooked hands, and the tears in his eyes seemed to have flowed away long ago, leaving only empty spaces: "After the little girl committed suicide by throwing herself into a well, the villain broke her hands and refused to dye cloth for the Zhe family. The Zhe family Wanting to kill the villain to vent his hatred, he beat the villain unconscious and threw him in a mass grave. The villain survived the catastrophe and came back alive."

Compared with the previous case where there was no proof, the current case is easy to verify.

King Yancheng nodded and ordered, "Ganpu, take my post and check it right away."

The guard standing beside him bowed his knees to accept the order: "Yes, my lord." He quickly left on a fast horse.

Yan Zuan said to the old man: "Old man, please go to the back room to rest and eat something."

This sentence caused an uproar among everyone inside and outside.This means that before the case is clear, the king of Yancheng will support all the people who came to avenge their grievances?until the case is closed? !This also means that no matter what the people who come to appeal are telling the truth or not, the King of Yancheng must examine it clearly!

Just like what King Yancheng said to the first people who came to make a statement, if what you say is true, justice will be given to you.If you make a false accusation, you will also have to pay the price.No ambiguity, no ambiguity.What is the principle between heaven and earth, so is the punishment of King Yancheng.

……

Xie Qinghe has been waiting in the crowd, listening to King Yancheng receiving the people who came to make a statement one by one.

Until the sun was setting to the west, the king of Yancheng ordered Zan Zan: "Provide food and water for the people, and set up tents to keep out the night dew."

He was already very tired, and he changed several positions on the couch, but he still didn't find any position comfortable for him.The cold made him cough more frequently. King Jing put his cloak on him and looked at him with helplessness and gratitude.

At this moment, King Yancheng sighed suddenly, and said helplessly: "If I send someone to bring a few Gong buckets, can you all go a little farther and use the Gong buckets to defecate?...Why does this wind come to me? blow."

Many people present were stunned for a moment, and then burst into short laughter.

A few commoners who had just sneaked around in the reincarnation of the five grains blushed in shame, jumped up cheekily, and said, "My lord, the villain is here to pick it up! The little dung in the alleyway at the door was picked up overnight!"

In the palace, servants soon came out to distribute food and drink. The water was boiled hot water, packed in worthless bamboo tubes, with a little fragrance of bamboo dew, and the food was bean rice spread on leaves. Enough is enough, you can go to pick it up after eating.

Xie Qinghe saw that everything was clean. He ate some bean rice and drank some water. This was his first bite of the day.

Over there, King Yancheng spoke to King Jing for the first time: "Go back."

What King Yancheng was going to do could not be stopped, and King Jing's rescue plan had completely failed, and there was really no point for him to stay.

Unexpectedly, King Jing also reached out and grabbed a leaf wrapped with bean rice. The guards brought him a small horse, and he sat beside King Yancheng, eating bean rice, and said: "The girl from the Zhe family is the cousin of the Gu Wang family. wife."

Zuan, who was serving King Yancheng, immediately stared at him angrily: "My lord won't look at your favor!"

King Jing ate the bean rice that was running around with his mouth full, and said: "Stay alone here and be the 'chicken' that the prince wants to kill."

King Yancheng suddenly pressed King Jing's hand, and King Jing watched Doufan getting farther and farther away from his mouth, so he had to look back at King Yancheng's face.Only then did the king of Yancheng let go of his hand, looked at the flickering Ziwei star in the sky, and said, "What you want to do is already impossible."

King Jing wanted to prevent internal friction and preserve King Yancheng, all in order to save his country and his family.

However, the King of Yancheng understood better than anyone that the destiny was no longer in the concubine's house.

"Go back." King Yancheng patted King Jing on the head, "You are a good boy, but unfortunately, you were born 20 years late."

If the king of Yancheng was not the emperor but the king of Jing, the situation of the whole world would never be the same as it is today.However, there are no ifs in the world.King Jing is the prince, not the younger brother, and the king of Yancheng didn't even have the chance to choose.

This slap made King Jing's eyes red, holding back his tears, he stood up abruptly: "I don't believe it! I have to try!"

King Yancheng didn't refute him, nor tried to persuade him, but just waved at him.

When King Jing came, he was earth-shattering, but when he left, he left quietly, and soon he rode his horse and disappeared into the night.

Xie Qinghe finished eating the bean rice, with some bean paste on his fingertips, and was washing it with water, when he was suddenly called out by Zuan: "Hey, you! It's you, that kid, the one playing with your fingers! - Are you here to avenge your grievances too? It's up to you Already!"

Xie Qinghe put down the bamboo tube filled with water, followed the zan to King Yancheng, and looked at the old man closely.

Said to be an old man, the king of Yancheng is not very old, the emperor is in his early thirties, and the king of Yancheng is not yet 45 years old.

Xie Qinghe stood relatively far away, and he could only see his gray hair, which made him feel very old. Looking up close, he didn't have much natural oldness, but was haggard caused by years of suffering and melancholy.Compared with the old people of his age who work in the fields every day, he is even considered young.

The Chen family wanted to get rid of this person.He is the biggest obstacle for the Chen family to rule the capital
